A single vehicle traffic crash in Carroll County Saturday morning sent all four of the vehicle’s occupants to the hospital.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as the eastbound vehicle, driven by 18-year-old Thessaly Myler, of Carrollton, was traveling too fast for the wet road conditions and lost control of her vehicle, causing her vehicle to travel off the roadway. Myler and 19-year-old Briley Gregg, of Bogard, both sustained serious injuries. Myler was transported to Research Medical Center for treatment, while Gregg was taken to Truman Medical Center for treatment of his injuries. The other two occupants of the vehicle, 18-year-old Noah Frank, and 18-year-old Haley Wellman, both of Carrollton, sustained minor injuries and were transported by private vehicle to Carroll County Memorial Hospital for treatment.
Over the next few months,
Carroll County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) will be working with area providers to update the 2018 Carroll County Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA). Therefore, they are seeking input from the community regarding healthcare needs in order to complete the 2021 CHNA update.
VVV Consultants LLC, an independent research firm, has been retained to conduct this countywide research. The goal of this assessment update is to understand progress in addressing community health needs cited in the both the 2015 and 2018 assessment reports while collecting up-to-date community health perceptions and ideas.
A brief community survey has been developed in order to gather feedback and accomplish this work. Please visit our website, www.carrollcountyhospital.org, and social media sites, Facebook and Twitter, to access the link to complete the online survey for the 2021 CHNA. All community residents and business leaders are encouraged to complete the 2021 CHNA online sur

President Biden on Tuesday is set to announce new steps to reach rural Americans in the push to get as many people as possible vaccinated for the coronavirus, a White House official tells NPR. This emphasis comes as rural hospitals are raising alarms about the pace of vaccination even among their own employees.
The Biden administration is moving into a new phase of its vaccination campaign, one where it knows doctors and health care professionals are often more persuasive than the government.
